Re: Tips on loosing weight (Not spam)

I love thin wall aluminum.

I don't want to tell teams to not use composites, but most of the time I see them used "in place" of aluminum they are used in much more volume so their lower density provides no weight advantage, and a thin-wall aluminum member would be more efficient.

I see them used right time to time, and it makes me happy every time to see something different used effectively; but that unfortunately seems to be the minority.
